The last room we were in... [here lavi pauses] We saw people from our world. People important to us. There was some kinda ritual... but it was basically, kill or be killed.

Yeah -- it was pretty bad. [he lets out a short laugh that's not really a laugh at all, just a sound.]
But I was convinced they weren't real. And it's not the first time I've had to do something like that. I'm just worried about... [hm] I'm worried about Tuuri. ...She might have made the same choice because my emotions were affecting hers.
